Talk given by Austin Holroyd: "What's this dull town to me ......" Market Place, Huddersfield We start at the centre of things at the Market Place. This etching bears the name Fountain and must have been the artists impression of the Town Centre about 1800. The George Inn stands across the North end of the square. When John Williams Street was built in 1850 it was removed. The shops on the left have been altered slightly, but most have been there almost 200 years. It is obvious that the smoke abatement act had not come into force by the smoke pouring out of the chimneys. In spite of our weather, chimneys last a long time in Huddersfield, and are very useful for identifying buildings. The artist shows us a gentleman in the stocks in the centre of the picture.
"What's this dull town to me ......"
